Primal Sandglass

Primal Sandglasses are an exploration mechanic in Great Red Sand, Sumeru found in the Ruins of King Deshret.

They can be flipped once touched to mark time. Rotate all the nearby Primal Sandglasses before the time limit (usually 30 second per rotation) is reached to complete the puzzle. Some Primal Sandglass puzzles need to be fully revealed using Replicator Keystones before they can be activated.

Primal Sandglasses near the cliff of Khaj-Nisut and at Aaru's Shut instead act like an Clusterleaf of Cultivation when activated, but the spawned Four-Leaf Sigils only last for 30 seconds.
